Hello! Nel and Joe here, coming to you live from Newsround HQ. It has | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
been a busy day. That's right, we have got lots of stuff to tell you | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
about this Friday, including: Why this little chap has a smile on | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
his face. And I have been visiting one of the | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
UK's newest and smallest cities. First, we have heard stories of | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
abandoned pets before, but Britain's money trouble means that | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
there are now over 500 horses who desperately need a home. That is | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
because their owners are running out of cash, and animal charities | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :00:57. | ||
are left to look after the horses. This is Domino. He may look healthy, | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
but a year ago, things were different. Domino was neglected by | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
his owners, because they could not afford to look after him. He was | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
left poorly and so weak that he could not stand up. But now, thanks | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
to the RSPCA, Domino is healthy again. But unfortunately, he is not | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
a one-off case. The RSPCA have had 565 horses come into their care | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
this year, almost double last year's number and putting the | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
charity under pressure. They are coming in extremely thin. Imagine a | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
skeleton with a bit of skin and some fur. That is about it. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Sometimes they collapse because they have no food inside them. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
are they being neglected? People can't afford to look after them. | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
And instead of asking for help, they just hope nobody will notice. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
The price of hay to feed horses and rising vet bills has meant the cost | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
of looking after a horse has risen dramatically. But the RSPCA are | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
doing all they can to help horses like Domino. He loves his dinner! | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
But what goes into a getting a horse fit again? We have to give | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
them 24 hour care. They have to have feeding in small amounts. A | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
vet has to come and do tests. They might need medication. Then you | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
have to walk them slowly, to build them up. Domino has now been | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
rehomed and is looking happy. But not all horses are as lucky. That | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
is why the RSPCA want to send out the message that you must not take | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
on a horse unless you can look after it. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
The Church of England is preparing to say goodbye to Dr Rowan Williams, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
who is leaving his job as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Although | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
the Queen is officially the head of the Church of England, the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Archbishop of Canterbury is the main person in charge. The new | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Archbishop will be selected by the Prime Minister and approved by the | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Queen. People in Belgium have been | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
spending the day remembering the 28 people, including 22 children, who | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
died in a coach crash in Switzerland on Wednesday night. One | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
of the children was from Britain. In Belgium, there has been a | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
minute's silence as a sign of respect. Eight of the children who | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
survived have been flown home. Next, we have news of something | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
very special indeed. Yes, because the Match Of The Day Kickabout boys | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
and girls have secured a world exclusive interview for Saturday. | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
:03:33. | :04:01. | ||
Can you hear that music? It was marmalade sandwiches all round last | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
night, as Paddington Bear found out he was the nation's favourite | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
cartoon character. He beat off stiff competition from Shaun the | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
sheep, Peppa Pig and Wallace and Gromit. If you don't know him, here | :04:10. | :04:20. | |

# I'm laughing at clouds so dark up above. | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
# The sun is in my heart... #. They say you can't build a city in | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
a day, but we beg to differ, as the people of three former towns are | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
enjoying their first taste of city life at the moment. The towns have | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
officially been made cities for the Queen's Jubilee. I have been to one | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
of the newbies for a nose around. Here is my travel guide. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Welcome to Newsround's city breaks. Today, we are in the new city of St | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Asaph in North Wales. Forget London, Paris or New York, this new kid on | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
the block is the city everyone is talking about. What has it got to | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
offer? Let's find out. You could visit the city cathedral, the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
smallest in the country. Try your hand at skimming along its lovely | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
little river here. Or, because it is the second smallest city in the | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
country, why not try to get to know as many of its 3500 residents as | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
possible? What else is there to do around here apart from get your | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
hair done? Relax, chill out. Does your town feel different now that | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
it is a city? No, but there has been a lot of excitement. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Chelmsford, Perth and St Asaph has been awarded the right to call | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
themselves a city. It is not the easiest place to pronounce, but | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
that has not stopped the Queen from making it a city along with two | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
others as part of her diamond jubilee celebrations. The Queen | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
chose it out of 25 other wannabe places, including much larger towns | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
like Reading and Milton Keynes. But there has been a lot of debate | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
about what makes a city. The rule used to be that it must have a | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
cathedral, and because of that, the people around here have called | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
their town a city for years. Cent as it certainly does not have the | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
hustle and bustle and museums and skyscrapers you would expect of a | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
modern city. But that does not matter, because it has been given | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
the royal seal of approval. So why not come along and enjoy the brand- | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
new city of St massive? -- sent a massive? -- St Asaph. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Next, they used to be a mystery, but now experts reckon the world's | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
biggest squid species have developed huge eyes so that it can | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
spot approaching predators. If you think a London double-decker bus is | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
pretty big, that is nothing compared to a giant squid. But even | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
bigger than that is the humungous colossal squid, whose massive eyes | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
help keep it away from hungry sperm whales. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Before we go, don't forget that it is Mothering Sunday this weekend. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
If you can't wait, head to the Newsround website to find out | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
